This is a little later but I got the headers installed and they're amazing. Just bought the Paxton Novi 1200 and about to install it.Bought some used BBK LTH and BBK offload x pipe. Got a killer deal for them, the guy bought them and installed them new from American Muscle in April. But decided to go with a turbo set up and needed them gone. Saw a lot of pictures and even videos of the process of them being taken off and boxed up. Shipped today, so should be getting them by the end of the week! Hoping to have installed this time next week.
What pulley are you talking about? I have a Roush 76 MM Idler Pulley that is smooth if you need.Finally got my car to stop squealing like a pig every time I drove her. It has been an extremely frustrating and embarrassing few weeks but I got her purring again. Now I just gotta find the right pulley.

Can you replace the bearing?double roller bearing
Can you replace the bearing?
Maybe. Not a lot of room to press it out. The opening from which side you have to apply the press has a hole barely larger than the inner race. I think if I tried to press it out it would only be applying pressure to the very inside of the bearing and would probably split it. She is currently my only running car so any downtime at the moment is going to be an issue. I will just call Whipple on Monday. They gotta have them available, you would think.

Damage to the bearing while removing it doesn’t matter as long as you don’t damage the pulley. Go to you local bearing shop, such as mMotor Parts and Bearings. Most cities have something similar that can match up the bearing. Maybe even the pulley.

Have you tried cleaning and re-greasing the squealer? Had an idler that was screaming, couldn't get a replacement till the following Tuesday. Pulled the dust shields, cleaned and re-greased. It's been fine for 10k miles +. New pulley is sitting on the shelf.
That bearing is damaged and will fail. At the most inopportune time. That little idler is spinning 3 times faster than the engine.Yeah I pulled the cover and packed it with some axle bearing lube I had sitting around. It stopped the squealing but it will come back.
Pretty darn close. These are Thrush 24” overall length.Reminds me of the Cherrybombs I used to run on my ‘68 Firebird.
